>> Well, I went to Penn State University.
I majored in marketing and French.
I think, well first I chose French because that's just something I'm very passionate about.
I had a lot of credits coming in from high schools and I got to study abroad in college.
So why not get that in French?
I never really planned on using it much outside of school.
But it is something that really interests me.
And for marketing, I knew I wanted to be a business major.
I think it gives, it just opens the door to a lot of different jobs and different roles.
In marketing, it was interesting to me because do learn about like customer insights and why.
You know, what makes a customer tick?
Why do they like certain brands?
And that's why I chose marketing.
Well, I actually had several internships.
I did a public relations internship with the Tri Honors College [phonetic] that was
for a year during the school year, just part time my sophomore year.
And I would help them kind of publicize their different events.
And I would write articles for their website.
And then the summer between sophomore and junior year,
I spent a summer in New York City working in marketing at Burberry.
It was kind of an, I would say unofficial internship.
It was unpaid.
But I was here for the summer.
And then the summer between junior and senior year, I would say I had my real internship.
And that, I was at Bloomingdale's for I was in their buying office.
I was an intern in their home buying.
And then later when I went back to Bloomingdale's I got placed in home again.
And then out of college, due to my internship, I worked at Bloomingdale's.
